Emotionally Focused Therapy offers a way to understand and work effectively with couples whose arguments get big and loud. Learn how to interrupt the argument and change the conversation, the beginning of guiding the couple to greater connection with each other.
Learning Objectives:
- Discover how attachment theory makes sense of the couple’s behavior.
- Identify the vulnerable emotion hidden under anger, and learn how to access and leverage this emotion to change the conversation.
- Tune into one’s own unhelpful reaction to highly escalated couples and identify more helpful responses.
